There is data that mentions item-slots similar to those in TF2. There are even voice and animation-taunts to spice up the competitive atmosphere. And if that wasn’t enough for your poor cosmetics-hating heart, brace yourself because we have something else that will make the forums explode with QQ-threads as far as the eye can see:This pastebin show a dozen more customisable hero-parts, even alternate courriers and reveals that the “Shitty Wizard” lines are an interesting hex: “Converts an enemy into the most hated being in the known universe: the wizard.\nWhen equipped, this item replaces your hex animal with a horrible wizard that would never make it into wizard school because he is the worst, I hate him so much.”

But the pastebin also suggests that there will be an in-game store (remember that “place-holder” icon?) and it mentions something about premium status. // Store UI “Store_New_Items” “New!” “Store_Bundles” “Bundles” “Store_Gear” “Gear” “Store_Tools” “Tools” “Store_Effects” “Effects”
